PowerEdge R220 BIOS Update
Hi
I need help to update my bios version currently my R220 has 1.4.0
I have tried from Lifecycle Controller but without success as the server ftp.dell.com is not available, and I can't access it from http as I don't have that option.
I also tried to get an update boot disk but I have to use a DRM application if I don't mind, to get an ISO, right now I don't have any OS on my R220 to be able to run that application.
I have downloaded the bios R220-011100.exe to try to update it from a USB memory but without success since when entering Boot Manager 1.0 in System utilities, I do not have the option to update the bios from a USB memory.
How can I proceed?
Thanks guys.

If you have supported iDRAC FW you can update BIOS using iDRAC. You can check below link for details

You can also have a bootable USB key with "R220-011100.exe" image. Boot to USB key and perform the update by running the executable
